Time For Redemption?

Doug Collins said that when his team is fully healthy, his starting lineup would be Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner at guard, Andre Iguodala at small forward, Elton Brand at power forward and Spencer Hawes at center.

lou is better with the second unit though because he's assertive. bringing turner on as our backup point guard would really leave us without go-to scoring unless we count thad as our go-to guy.
lou would also dominate the ball and keep holliday and iggy from creating and getting brand or others going. while the talk of lou as a mini-iverson has gotten people hyped up about his positives, his tendency to kill ball movement and be a liability on defense would do more harm then good on a starting unit looking to establish a rhythm in the game. we'd be looking at a lot more big deficits than early leads if we started lou.

in an ideal world we would treat him like the microwave. "just add water" and he comes in and gives us a spark while iggy or jrue gets a breather along with brand. he gets to the line, extends the game and lets us tread water. if he's cold, he gets yanked before he can do any real damage.
unfortunately with our lack of shot-creators, his particular brand of offense becomes our best shot at scoring consistent buckets, which turns into hoping he can get to the line without chucking too many ill-advised jumpers. when his shot isn't falling he needs to get pulled immediately because things quickly go south when he tries (and fails) to score. too many times when he's put in its either "here we go again..." or "alright, maybe he can pull us through this quarter". he shouldn't have this much control over the game.
